Super Bowl Pants Party: Bears Vs. Colts
You know, this football season has been so much fun that we really are sad to see it end. But, alas, it has to, and there's an actual game Sunday, if you can believe it.

Sorry Nick, We're Just 'Not Feelin' It'
Hot quarterback prospect Robert Marve of Plant High School (Tampa, Fla.) isn't going to Alabama after all.

Andy Reid's Rugrats Are Terror Behind The Wheel
Lost in all the Super Bowl business this week — and by that, we mean a bunch of people in faded Hawaiian shirts walking around convention centers looking bored — has been some rather wild news coming out about Eagles coach Andy Reid's sons.

Super Bowl Week Is Taking A Toll On Tony Dungy
You know, the stress of Super Bowl week — of preparing your team for battle in the midst of an insane media circus and, uh, strippers who come bearing cocaine — can take a toll on NFL coaches. (Poor Bill Callahan looked like he'd just gone through a disturbingly primal fraternity initiation.)...

Yeah! We're Game Too!
We can't quite put our finger on why we find this "I'm Always Game (For Some Football)" video so entertaining, but we do, without reservation. You can't tell us this isn't better than Pink. If Spike ever gets NFL games, this should probably be the intro....

You know, with all this Super Bowl and Barbaro and Sean Salisbury business, we almost missed what's truly important: The San Diego Chargers are in serious danger of pulling a down-the-stretch, Barbaro-esque comeback to pass the Cincinnati Bengals for most arrests in a season.
